By letting the buyers of this picture pay in instalments I was blackmailed into attending extremely strange Scientology lessons. At the end of the lesson they always said, "Of course you will come to the next session, then we will give you another instalment." After I had made a date to meet a beautiful African girl also attending somewhere else - I was thinking of my painting 130 If I Had a Negress I Would Love and Paint Her of 1951 - the instalment payments for the picture were discontinued altogether. The furious explanation: "This person was not invited and you made an unpardonable faux-pas". The Scientology collectors were apparently racists from the South.
